Feed My lambs, My child. Let My little ones, My young ones, My weak ones, draw sustenance from you even as you draw strength from Me. I have blessed you with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies, My precious one, and you have want of nothing dear to life. My Spirit makes My Word life to your heart, filling you with rich wisdom and treasured understanding beyond measure. Your cup is running over with abundance beyond your need.
The Father has given Me a Name above every name and seated Me at His right hand because I was faithful in sharing with those He gave Me, holding nothing back that they needed; with the measure I meted out the Father measured back to Me, and even more. This was done so that you may have an example to follow.
Pay attention to how you hear what the Spirit has to say. If you listen and heed what you hear, sharing and not hoarding, you will gain more understanding. If you do not give that which I have already given you to those I bring to you, even what you have will be taken away.
I distribute My gifts as I will, irrevocably, but My anointing is poured out fresh each day, and My leading and direction is moment by moment. To have My Spirit lift and leave because of selfishness, pride, or fear, is to be without power or direction, of all people most miserable.
I consider those who consider Me, My loving one. As you look after My little children, I look after you. As you water the seeds of My Word that are sown, I will make a watered garden of your soul–flourishing, flowering, fragrant, fruitful. As you draw the water from your well, there will always be a fresh supply even in the driest season or the deepest drought when others only bring up mud in their bucket.
Do not try to meet the needs of others from yourself, My enthusiastic one. Wait in My presence, for that is where you receive not only My supply but also My directions. Seek My face, hear My voice, know My heart.
You will see the one I am drawing today, and My Spirit will guide you to the field that is ripe. Much harm is done when an eager harvester starts cutting in a field where the grain is still green.
Wait on My direction, serving Me in praise and worship. Go forth when I direct you and speak what I have given you, feeding My lambs, encouraging My people, strengthening feeble hands, healing afflicted bodies, binding up broken hearts. Preach the acceptable year, and the soon coming, of the Lord.

When you are in a storm with others, may you encourage them by the expression of your faith and the demonstration of your trust in God’s promises. Acts 27

May the Lord bless you with increase and multiply your effectiveness, bringing those to you who are ready for battle – equipped with the mindset of warriors, not looking for a fight but willing to defend those unable to defend themselves, and prepared for spiritual battle against the enemy of God. 1 Chronicles 7

My dear one, weep with Me. In your prayer closet, in your private times before Me, when you are closed in in My Spirit, receive My sorrow and cry out in grief to the Father that His mercy may still be extended to each one who needs it.
Join Me in intercession in the spiritual realm that the lies of the adversary will be shown for what they are by the darkness-dispelling light of My testimony that is shed abroad by My people walking in My unity with each other and extending My compassion toward those who misuse them.
Lament with Me for My people, called by My name, to have a heart to humble themselves and pray to the Father, seeking His face and turning from the wickedness that has crept into their ways separating their lands from the healing and forgiving blessings the Father desires to pour out.
Mourn with Me over the multitudes milling around in the valley of decision, having heard so much about Me yet not finding enough evidence to make a choice. Should not My people bear irrefutable proof of the authority in My Word and the power of My Spirit as I watch over My Word that is in their mouth to confirm it with signs following? Instead, the cares of this world and the lies and insinuations of the enemy of your soul carry more weight in the hearts of My people than My promises and My covenant.
Let your heart be broken, as Mine is, for the opportunities which are still abounding in these last short moments of grace, that are being passed by and ignored with no understanding of how near the end has come – opportunities to receive Me as Savior, to know Me as Healer, to obey Me as Master, to shelter in Me as Protector, to be at peace in Me as Provider, to be fruitful in Me as the True Vine, to be cherished by Me as the Bridegroom.
Know, My willing one, that as you have labored in travail and anguished in spirit even so you will exult with Me over one that is found, and you will share in the jubilation as My Body comes together in unity and rejoicing. This is the sorrow which, shared with Me, works to complete and fulfill the suffering and affliction of the Body of Christ until I come to gather you home for the wedding feast of the Lamb. Labor with Me, sowing in tears, so that you may reap the harvest with Me in joy and know My fellowship in your life here, and in eternity, soon to come.

May you take refuge in the Lord your God, Who will save and deliver you from all who pursue you, all those who would seek to tear you like a lion and rip you to pieces, if He did not rescue you. Psalm 7

May your hands be innocent of guilt, and your heart free from blame, as you stand before the Lord your God, having neither done evil to those who are at peace with you, or robbed a foe without cause, lest the Lord remove His protection from you and give you over to your enemies. Psalm 7

May the Lord arise in His anger against the rage of your enemies, and awake for your sake the judgment He has commanded. Psalm 7

May the Lord, Who searches the heart and the mind, judge you by His Son’s righteousness and in His Son’s integrity, that He will bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make His chosen people secure. Psalm 7

May your shield be the Most High God Who saves the upright in heart, for He is a righteous judge, not relenting, but expressing His wrath daily, sharpening His sword and bending His bow, causing the trouble which an evildoer prepares to recoil on himself, and making his own violence come down on his head. Psalm 7

May you give thanks to the Lord because of His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High. Psalm 7

May you not trust in fame, strength, or authority to receive God’s blessings, but walk with Him in humility, faith, and love. 1 Chronicles 5

May God give you a revelation of Jesus Christ that brings light and life, understanding and wisdom, grace and mercy flowing from you to others. Acts 26

May the Lord not rebuke you in anger or discipline you in wrath, but deal with you in mercy and heal you in compassion. Psalm 6

My kingdom awaits you, My child. Are you willing to enter in and join in fellowship with Me, in agreement with, and submission to, the living Word of God? The ruler of this world has no part of, and nothing in, Me or My kingdom, having created his own kingdom in the world of man.
The way of this world’s kingdom is easy, and the gate leading to it is wide to accommodate all the various religious approaches. Anything will do; if you don’t like what you see, make up your own. If it feels good, do it, and you’ll find others who will join you. There are no restrictions, and no membership fees, until much later.
The way to My kingdom is hard, requiring your submission and humble obedience, and the gate is narrow for My Father has designated Me, His only-begotten Son, the first-born among many brethren, to be the only Door. Yet I accept all who receive Me in faith, believing that I am sent by the Father, no matter what path you have come from.
To follow My way in your own strength is impossible, no matter what you have accomplished by your own resources and skills in the world; yet even the weak, lame, and blind can walk in My way, for I send My Spirit to watch over each one who follows My Word as I confirm it in your heart, witnessing to your spirit that this is the Way.
As you start along the way that leads to life, you will find that the clean water of My salvation, the fresh wind of My Spirit, the broken bread of My Truth, will cause you to grow stronger through the walking out of your faith and the exercise of your gifts.
But it also means that all your interest and concern for the things of this world will narrow, while the straitened path you follow along the Way of Truth will permit all of your focus on and desire for God to broaden. This will allow you to disentangle yourself from the cares and worries of this world, and bring every power of body, soul and spirit into focus on nothing less than My will and purpose for you.
This is the kingdom path which leads to sanctification and purity, by which you are prepared for eternal life in Christ. The inward work of the Spirit and the Word in your heart and mind, your spirit and soul, your thoughts and intents, your words and deeds, brings you into alignment with the Father’s will and purpose, that you may be one with Me even as I am one with the Father.
Come away with Me, My beloved, away from the noise and rush of the crowd, and hear My still, small voice speaking to you, leading you in the path you are to follow.

May God turn to you in deliverance and save you in His unfailing love that you may praise Him in remembrance of His goodness and lovingkindness. Psalm 6

May you find strength in the Lord when you are exhausted with sorrow, and joy in the Spirit after a night of weeping, for when you are weak, He is made strong and brings the victory over your foes. Psalm 6

May you cry to the Lord for mercy, for He has heard your weeping and accepts your prayer, therefore all your enemies will be ashamed and dismayed, and those who do evil will be turned back in sudden disgrace. Psalm 6

May the fruit of your mouth be sweet and the harvest of your lips be satisfying, for your belly will be filled by your speech, and your heart will be fed by your words. Proverbs 18:20

Proverbs 1:33 NASB But he who listens to Me shall live securely, and shall be at ease from the dread of evil.

Psalm 69:5-6 BSB You know my folly, O God, and my guilt is not hidden from You. 6 May those who hope in You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of Hosts; may those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel.

May you cry to the Lord to receive His blessing and accept His anointing, so He will increase your responsibility and provide your authority, protecting you from evil and preventing you from harm. 1 Chronicles 4

May you cry for help to the Lord, your King and your God, early in the morning, laying your requests before Him with your sacrifice of praise, eagerly and expectantly watching. Psalm 5

Live in My joy, My child, as you do My work. Life in this world is not all sunshine and roses, peaches and cream – far from it. There are multitudes of woe and great depths of sorrow that you will encounter, and to walk through the valley of the shadow of death is to know the presence of evil on all sides. Even I was known as a Man of sorrows and suffering, familiar with pain and well-acquainted with grief, from Whom people hid their faces and to Whom men turned their backs, despised and rejected as insignificant.
I offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the Father, Who heard Me and strengthened Me, and sent His angels to minister to Me. And because He is faithful, when you face the temptation that the enemy brings in each situation, I am there for you as the living Word of God. I provide you the way to escape the enemy’s alluring trap, even as you continue walking out the circumstances through which God is maturing and perfecting you.
See the joy of walking with Me, your gentle Shepherd, through the lion-infested thickets of the Jordan valley, and learn the joy of coming through the battle victorious, covered with dirt and smoke. Through the ringing in your ears from the noise of battle, once it quiets down to silence and you realize the enemy has fled defeated, you laugh out loud in the pure joy of being alive with your heavenly Captain Whose wisdom and guidance has led you safely through the fray.
My joy, not as the world gives, is always yours, independent of circumstances, for it is your strength. It does not replace the sorrows as you sit with the bereaved, nor prevent the grief of rejection or loss. Rather, it sustains you through it, for you know that I am beside you at each turn.

May you come into the house of God by His great mercy and in reverence bow down toward His holy temple in deepest awe, for He is not a God Who takes pleasure in evil, therefore the wicked cannot dwell with Him and the arrogant cannot stand in His presence since He hates all who do wrong and destroys those who tell lies, abhorring bloodthirsty and deceitful men. Psalm 5

May the Lord lead you in His righteousness, making His way straight and His path plain before you. Psalm 5

May you take refuge in the Lord with gladness, singing for joy with all who do, for the Lord will spread His protection over those who trust Him and shelter them who love His name so that they who boast in Him will exult in triumph. Psalm 5

May you be a help to your brother as a city is defended by the walls of its fortress, and may the bonds of God’s love prove stronger than barred gates. Psalm 5

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

2 Corinthians 4:8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair.

1 Peter 1:15-16 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

1 John 5:4-5 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Revelation 21:7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

Luke 21:36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

May you honor the name of Jesus, Who has made all who come to Him partakers of the promises and inheritance of God, breaking down the barriers of separation and exclusion, including you into the family and lineage of Christ. 1 Chronicles 2

May you strive always to keep your conscience clear before God and man since you have the hope in God of the resurrection and life in Christ. Acts 24

May you converse with others on righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, redeeming the time. Acts 24

My child, treasure your weakness, and embrace your brokenness.
In the world’s system of values, you must hide any vulnerabilities lest others take advantage of them and overcome you for their own purposes; you must emphasize your strong points and talk them up, showing your strengths to all comers.
In the value system of My kingdom, My dear one, that is not so. The darkness that is in the world allows you to hide what you do not want to be seen, but My kingdom is one of light and transparency and integrity. That which has been hidden shall be revealed, and that which has been wounded shall be made whole.
Though you had to hide from the world that which hurt lest it be made worse, in My kingdom, you can bring to Me that which has failed, knowing that I accept you fully, and require nothing of you but to believe that I and the Father are one. I have all you need, and you are made whole in Me.
Your righteousness is not cleaned and patched and returned to you, but rather, you put on My righteousness, which has never suffered damage. Your defensive armor, which has been breached so often by others’ words and damaged to the point of uselessness, is not repaired and tidied up, but instead, is replaced by My armor which, when worn in My service, will never fail you.
If you did not have wounds, you would not be able to know My healing love. So do not be ashamed of your weakness, for through it, you have gained precious and greater understanding of My heart. This becomes your testimony when you meet others hiding wounds behind their front of strength.
That which the world, and the enemy of your soul, would shame you for is, in My Kingdom, the very thing that draws you closer to Me. As My Spirit ministers My redemption into your life, you find the cracks and the missing spaces filling with the silver of My love and the gold of My nature, beautifying your life even as you are made whole again.
What some would call disfiguring scars in the world, casting reproach and disapproval, accusing you of needing a crutch, unable to stand on your own, is the very thing that you will understand to be the weakness which allows you to stand strong in Me. Through this, you can know My tender loving touch which removes the pain and brings peace to your mind, allowing you to love those who cannot love themselves.
Draw near, My precious one, and release each of your hurts to Me, allowing Me to strengthen you in ways you have never known.

May you call on God, the Righteous One, when you are in distress, for He will answer you and give you relief, being merciful to hear your prayer. Psalm 4

May you seek for the Lord, Who will hear your heart’s cry and set apart those who hunger for Him, those who do not turn His honor into shame or, by their words and deeds, seek to ruin His reputation by loving what is worthless and pursuing a lie. Psalm 4

May you give your offerings and make your sacrifices in the right spirit and put your confidence in the Lord, searching your heart in silence, not justifying yourself but listening for the still, small voice of the Spirit, that as you approach His throne in awe and tremble in worshipful fear, you will not sin by letting anger control you. Psalm 4

May you lie down and sleep in peace as the Lord, alone, enables you to live securely and settles you in confident hope, for He will fill your heart with more joy and gladness than those in the world who currently have prosperity and feel at peace. Psalm 4

Although a gift opens the way for the giver when approaching a man, as Jacob approached Esau, may you be confident and have faith that the gift of obedient sacrifice which Jesus brought to the Father has opened the way to His throne room for us. Proverbs 18:16

Although each person who presents his case makes it seem right, as when Ziba met David without Mephibosheth, may you know that God sees the heart and understands the truth of the matter: the accuser of the brethren is a liar, and Jesus’ blood cleanses us from sin. Proverbs 18:17

Just as the casting of the lots removes personal bias from a decision since only God can control the result, may you place your trust in Him to be in charge of, and have His will in, the events and circumstances outside of your control, because of His love for you which He has already proven by sending Jesus to pay for your sin. Proverbs 18:18

Psalm 33:18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His lovingkindness;

Isaiah 40:31 …those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Deuteronomy 11:2 Remember today what you have learned about the Lord through your experiences with Him. It was you, not your children, who had these experiences. You saw the Lord’s greatness, His power, His might,

May you see clearly that God has created all nations of one blood since we all have one father, giving us all the same inheritance of enmity with God and causing the same need for redemption, which He has made available for us to freely share. 1 Chronicles 2

May the Lord stand beside you, when circumstances are the bleakest, and bring you encouragement, direction, and assurance. Acts 23

May you not be surprised when, under the guise of tradition, people are influenced against you by the powers of darkness and the forces of wickedness as you follow the path the Lord sets before you, but know that He will make a way, providing a solution for you to use. Acts 23

Even though the lives and hearts of all men are already in God’s hand, may you be blessed as you willingly put your trust in Him and purposefully commit your ways to Him. Acts 23

Know Me for yourself, My child, and learn of Me through My Spirit and My Word. Though you hear of Me by the deeds and the speech of others so that faith may come, do not settle for second-hand reports as your primary source.
Let faith arise in your heart and impel you to seek for Me yourself, searching the Scriptures on your own, studying to see if what others have said is correct. My Word testifies of Me, and My Spirit in your heart bears witness of My truth, just as the deeds done in My name bring glory to Me.
Let Me not be merely the God of your fathers, or the Lord of your brothers, or the Savior of your neighbors. Answer the draw on your heart that these make to you; follow the tug in your spirit at each level. Move from each plateau into new territory as I make Myself known to you time and time again in new and different ways, with fresh expressions of Who I am, and Who I want to be in your life, to meet long-standing needs and end long-running battles.
Do not let lukewarmness settle in by accepting the report of others with complacency and permitting distance to cool your zeal and ardor. Press in to know, seek to find, pray to learn how I would show Myself to you in richer and deeper ways, using you in new areas – not for the sake of novelty and change, but to meet needs that have persistently resisted My will.
It does not mean that I have not the power or abundance to meet those needs, My dear one; it means that no one has sought Me with the willingness of heart and the burden of spirit to know Me in the way that will express My love and demonstrate My servanthood to overcome that stronghold. My victories come through death and loss to the flesh in the world and material realm, My precious one. The one who lays down his life for the sake of others is the one who will see My power bring life into the situation that was impossible for man.
Will you seek Me in the spirit to know Me in the truth of Who I desire to be in your life unto others?

May you cry aloud to the Lord, Who will answer you from His holy hill, regardless of how many foes rise up against you claiming God will not deliver you, for He is a shield around you and He bestows His glory on you, lifting up your head. Psalm 3

May you lie down to sleep and rest, not fearing the tens of thousands of worrisome thoughts and endless imaginings that are drawn up against you on every hand, because when you wake again, you will find that the Lord has sustained you with His power and kept you in His Spirit. Psalm 3

May the blessing of the Lord be upon you for deliverance from all spiritual wickedness, for He will arise against those principalities attacking you, striking them and breaking their power by stopping their lies. Psalm 3

May the Spirit of God, which heals your body, bring strength and restoration to your heart and mind, making you whole. Proverbs 18:14

May your ear be attuned to, and open for, the wisdom of the Lord, even as your heart and mind is hungry for, and receptive to, the knowledge and understanding of God. Proverbs 18:15

Matthew 25:40 The King will reply, “…whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of Mine, you did for Me.”

Isaiah 61:1 Isaiah said, “The spirit of the LORD God is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners.”

John 20:29 Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Matthew 20:26-28 …Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first must be your slave – 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many

1 Timothy 2:1-2 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.

May you press in to, and be desperate for, the righteousness of the Lord, making it your one desire above all the world offers, for He is your only refuge and shelter from the storm which is coming. 2 Kings 23

May you abide in the vine, letting your focus be single and your purpose be set, determined that you will cling to the Branch from which your life comes, and trust in the Root, which is holy and true. 2 Kings 25

May you practice true religion, plain and simple, without artifacts or relics, but from the heart, in purity of spirit, with bridled tongue and open hands toward others in love and mercy, even as the Father has given to you, for the enemy will destroy the material things, but if you are hid in the Rock, you will be saved. 2 Kings 25, James 1

My child, bring your needs to Me.
To be needy is not to be in the flesh, or unspiritual, but to be alive. Only the dead have no more needs, and I have made you alive through the power of My resurrection. To say you have no needs is to deny My truth and to walk in a lie, for all children have needs, and it is natural for them to turn to their Father to have them met. Why, then, would you not turn to Me to supply what you need?
Look to your heart, My child, and see with My eyes. Do you look to other sources than Me to provide your resources? Those are idols, My wandering one; they give foul food and dirty water, bringing corruption into your life. Turn from them, and drink deeply from My well of living water, eating to your satisfaction from My table of truth that strengthens you in the inner parts.
Do you say that you have no needs, as you are complete and fully taken care of in all ways? That is pride, My willful one; I have only one Son Who is complete and without needs, and you are not Him. Release your pride, see with My eyes, understand that you are poor, naked, blind, and come to Me for all that you lack. I will give you freely, without criticism, the righteousness of Christ to cover you like fine white linen, and you can receive My nature engrafted in your heart, precious as gold tried in the fire.
I desire to equip you, My unprepared one, for there is much work to be done. The harvest is ripe, My unaware child, and there is much that is waiting for those who are willing. Remain in My Word, seek My heart in prayer, remain attentive to My Spirit, for only as you are aligned with My will and agreed in heart can we walk together.
Join Me, My dear one, and know the true riches of heaven as the work of My kingdom is done.

May you be true to the heavenly vision you have received and serve faithfully the Master Who has saved you, abides with you, and will fully redeem you, for though sorrow lasts through the night, joy comes in the morning. Acts 22

May you not allow cultural prejudices and social traditions to dismiss the will of God or steal the truth of the Gospel from your heart, for His will shall be established in the earth as it is in heaven, and the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall fill the earth, but those who turn from it will be lost. Acts 22

May you be hid in Christ, wherein all treasures of wisdom and knowledge are found, for as you have died to yourself and to the world, you are sheltered from, and have no part in, the wrath of the Lord which terrifies the people who plot against God and the anger with which He rebukes the kings and rulers who stand together against the Lord and His anointed to reject His commands and throw off His constraints. Psalm 2

May you proclaim the decree of the Lord so that the kings and rulers of the earth may be wise and choose to serve the Lord with fear, rejoicing before the Son with trembling, lest He be angry and His wrath, which can destroy in a moment, does not flare up, for blessed are all who take refuge in Him. Psalm 2

May you give the honor of listening and grant the gift of your time to hear the matter thoroughly and consider the issue completely, for hasty speech exhibits impatience and self-conceit and a hasty answer will be rash and incomplete, bringing shame and confusion. Proverbs 18:13

John 15:11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

May your heart be penitent and humble before God, tender toward the truth of the Word and responsive to the prompting of the Spirit, weeping in repentance for the sins of the people and distressed in your spirit because of the evil in the land, for the Lord will hear you and respond to your prayers. 2 Kings 22

Though you know that the judgment of God will not be turned away from the world, may you not give up hope in your witness nor ever stop working in the harvest, but do even more as you see the day approaching. 2 Kings 22

May you turn to the Lord with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength, that you may walk in the ways of the Lord all the days of your life and be found doing the deeds of the Lord as long as you live. 2 Kings 23

Because the hearts of people are desperately wicked, may you not be startled by the depth of idolatry and the extent of wickedness to be found, even in the places where God’s Name is named, for just as He is working in your heart to purge and cleanse His dwelling place, so is He doing in all who will respond to the drawing of His Spirit, dressing and shaping the living stones from which He will build His temple. 2 Kings 23

May you rejoice to see the fulfillment of God’s Word spoken so long ago as God’s Spirit is poured out anew upon all flesh and the worship of God returns to the hearts of those grown cold, renewing and refreshing the lives of those whom they touch with the fullness of God’s gifts and blessings, treasures without measure, preparing the way for His return, as the chaff and the grain are separated on the threshing floor. 2 Kings 23

My child, you are wonderfully and fearfully made, for I have knit your parts in darkness and formed you from the clay with My skill. My plans for you have been devised from before the foundations of the earth, and I have taken deep pleasure in anticipating the joy we will share as you come into the fullness that is yours in My kingdom.
Though you had been set at enmity to Me through the lies you were born into of the flesh, yet I gave you My all, shunning privilege and emptying myself of rights so that I could walk with you in the way you walk, among the conditions you walk, facing the circumstances you face. I did this to make the way for you that did not exist before, overcoming so that you can overcome, being victorious so that you can walk in victory, conquering so that you can be more than a conqueror, dying so that you can receive an inheritance.
When you were against all that I represent, because of the lies you were told, I caught you in My net, trapping you as a wild animal, and showed you gentleness as you showed Me fear and distrust, until you accepted that I would not torment you as you had been told.
When you were still a slave to fear and pain, I bought you, paying the asking price without haggling, for I had created you, and I knew what a treasure you are, under all the dirt and filth that had accumulated through your mistreatment. I remembered the beauty that I had fashioned inside of you before you were stolen from Me.
As a slave, bought from the market, I trained you in the basics of My household, showing you grace and acceptance, introducing you to the solid nourishment of My truth, restoring your health with regular rest and clean water.
You wanted more, and you felt thankful, so I assigned you tutors to train you further in the principles of My Father’s house, letting you run errands and do assignments in the marketplace. You often reverted and followed your old patterns of hoarding what I gave you, from fear of want and memories of lack, but I directed My tutors to continue working with you.
You responded, beginning to grasp the boundless riches, enough for all, and certainly sufficient for those few who respond to My call. You grew strong and learned to deal with the heat and the noise, the long hours and tedious tasks that you were given.
But you saw that there was more to be done, and you were not satisfied with the limits you found in yourself. You turned to Me with a hunger to be all that I had created you to be, willing to do whatever was required to serve those you saw in need.
You asked Me to show you what was needful, and as you did, you turned from being a slave, or even a child governed by rules, to a son who gives of himself freely to others. You received from the Father all that is needed, without restriction, to be about the Father’s business.
You never thought of yourself, for you already settled in your heart and understood in your mind that the Father has you completely taken care of; you can go through whatever hardships come your way, knowing that He never leaves you.
As you have walked with Him, you have seen how He has turned failure, disaster, loss, rejection, illness, catastrophe, all, into success and victory for His kingdom. As part of His family, you are heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed you suffer with Him so that you may be glorified with Him as heirs according to promise.
Through such great love from the Father, as He has predestined for you, according to the kind intention of His will, you have been accepted in the Beloved and received into His kingdom.
Walk with Me, My valued one, as we enter into the joy of the Father.

May your witness make much of Jesus when the Lord brings you before others. Acts 23

May you not follow the advice of the wicked or behave in the manner of the sinner or take pleasure in the company of scorners, but delight yourself in the Word of the Lord and meditate on Him both day and night that you may be spiritually strong and fruitful, enduring and vigorous, stable and healthy, prospering in the work of the Lord. Psalm 1

May the Lord watch over your path to guard, defend, and protect you as you follow it, as He does for all who strive within themselves to follow the way of the righteous and the godly, for the path which the wicked follow will be destroyed, and they who follow it will perish, blown away like empty, dry husks having no value except as fuel to be burned. Psalm 1

May you know by experience the certainty of God’s defense and the strength of His protection over you throughout all your troubles and trials, for the honor and wealth of the rich, in their untested imagination, is believed to be a strong wall of defense, until it is too late. Proverbs 18:11

May God bless you with the loving grace and merciful compassion to accompany you along the journey as heartfelt pride is broken down and demolished so that humility may sprout and grow in the rubble, blossoming into beauty, allowing Him to receive, and give, honor. Proverbs 18:12

May you walk before the Lord faithfully and with wholehearted devotion, doing what is good in His eyes. 2 Kings 20

May you take pleasure in the times when you can share with others the expression of God’s bountiful gifts to you and illustrate the abundance of God’s blessings by showing others what you have, taking care to give to God the glory and honoring the name of the Lord rather than taking pride in what you have as though it were your own accomplishment. 2 Kings 20

May you be obedient to the Lord as He sends you to minister to others, often in comfort and encouragement, drawing out and reaffirming God’s work in their life, reassuring and strengthening them in the love and grace of God, while at times reproving as He requires, even as Isaiah and Nathan did for the kings of Judah. 2 Kings 20

May you be grateful for the tutors and guardians which surround and constrain you from indulgence and rebellion so that you may gain the discretion and maturity, the wisdom and the fear of the Lord, which experience and understanding will cultivate. 2 Kings 21

May you take comfort in the assurance that though God purges a vessel to cleanse it, and casts off those who dishonor Him, He never closes the door for repentance and never deserts His cause on earth, as even Manasseh learned, for the lovingkindness of the Lord endures forever. 2 Kings 21

May you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord and walk in the way He leads, not turning aside to the right or to the left. 2 Kings 22

My child, believe My word and embrace My will in your life. Place your trust in Me and allow your faith to grow day by day, event by event, as your understanding of My ways increases. Allow Me to guide your footsteps more and more throughout the day as you learn to set aside your opinions and lay down your rights, submitting your will to Me and bringing every thought into obedience to Me.
Vacate the throne of your heart and the control of your life to Me, My willful one, and allow Me to truly be Lord over you, not merely in name only. When I am the King in residence in your life, My wisdom will permeate your choices, and My power will flow through your circumstances. As you learn to willingly cast your crown, the ownership of your actions and the authority to make your own choices, at My feet, waiting for My leading, and alert to My Spirit, I will bring victory from circumstances that would be defeat in your hands, and I will bring life from those words that would otherwise minister death. Walk not by sight, nor by hearing, but by My Word as it is made real to your heart by the ministry of My Spirit.
Consider Hezekiah, My inquiring one. He trusted Me and held fast to Me, not ceasing to follow Me, so that there was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, either before him or after him. But when I told him his work was completed, he wept bitterly, desiring his own way. I granted him fifteen more years of life, and when they were up, his twelve-year-old son, Manasseh took the throne and for fifty-five years, led My people astray into abominations that were done nowhere else, sealing the fate of Judah. It took three generations to undo the evil that resulted from Hezekiah’s willful refusal of My word.
Do not be willful, My precious one, but seek My will with a tender heart filled with faith, trusting yourself to the One Who has already given His all for you. Know the joy of prompt obedience, My love, and the safety of refuge in the Rock that was cleft for you.

May you receive those who also minister in the Lord, and rejoice with them in the testimony of God’s blessings and the abundance of the harvest, giving praise to God for His faithfulness in the diversity of His work. Acts 21

May you be confident of the supremacy of God’s will and the unchanging solidity of God’s word in those times when turmoil and tumult surround you, when those you would expect to rely on are found to be against you while those you expect no support from are the ones who sustain you, for God will always use willing vessels to propel you to and encompass you within His will and His purpose. Acts 21

May you praise God when you are within His sanctuary and may you praise Him when you are outside under His mighty heavens, praising Him for both His mighty deeds and acts of power as well as His awesome majesty and ways of surpassing greatness, using trained skill on instruments of string and wind as well as with banging percussion and excited movement, for if you have breath, use it to praise the Lord. Psalm 150

Just as someone who is negligent and remiss in his work, slack and slothful in what he does, is a brother to the master of destruction, who comes to kill, steal, and destroy, even so may you be diligent to be found in the Lord without spot or blemish, giving yourself wholly to the work of the Lord, so that everyone may see your progress and honor the Lord for His hand in your life. Proverbs 18:9, 1 Timothy 4, 2 Peter 3

Hebrews 13:5-6 Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,” 6 so that we confidently say, “The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid, what will man do to me?”

May you take root below and bear fruit above in the zeal of the Lord Almighty, knowing that He will preserve you against all that the enemy will try to do, defending and saving you for His name’s sake. 2 Kings 19

May you always desire and seek out the company and fellowship of fellow believers, members of the Body of Christ, for the Lord will strengthen and encourage, exhort and provoke to good works, each member by the ministry of the Word and the moving of the Spirit through each other member. Acts 21

My child, I am your help, your strength and your shield. Trust in Me, for I hear the voice of your supplication, and you are helped.
Take refuge in Me, My dear one; trust not in the strength of man, which will come to an end, or in the power of princes and principalities, which will use you for their own purposes.
Look and see, My querying one, and declare to Me if a single one of the good promises which I have promised to My people have failed to come to pass. Though you be brought low, yet have I saved you, leading you by a straight way to a city with foundations which I have designed and constructed, where I am the light, that you may dwell in Me, and I in you, and you shall sing for joy in the shadow of My wings.
Depend on Me, My seeking one, for I shall set a guard over you that will not fail, but will keep your mind, your tongue, and your hands from the enemy. My Spirit will instruct you on how to bring a pleasing sacrifice to Me out of the meditations of your heart, the words of your mouth, and the deeds of your hands.
I long to walk with you, My loving one, and share My heart with you. Do not hide, My trembling one, for My love covers you, and when I weed the garden of your heart, it is with tenderness and prudence in order to bring out the beauty that I see.
Still your spirit, My precious one, and wait before Me that you may know that I am God.

May you feel no surprise at the troubles and fiery ordeals that come upon you, as though something unusual was occurring, for through much tribulation will you enter the kingdom of God as you take up your cross and follow Him, seeking for the will of the Lord to be done, which is the wisdom and counsel of God, and brings great joy and much rejoicing before His throne.

May you understand that a great fall from God’s favor is not caused from being overcome by a powerful enemy, but is the inevitable result of a persistent lifestyle of ingratitude for God’s blessing, complaint and murmuring against His provision, and resistance and unyielding disobedience to His spirit of mercy and grace. 2 Kings 17

May the fear of the Lord permeate your heart and motivate your behavior that you may walk in singleness of vision and purity of purpose; for mere outward compliance with forms and traditions, mixed with an unchanged and impure heart cannot follow the ways of the Lord or walk in the paths of righteousness. 2 Kings 17

Acts 20

It is time, My child, to walk in the discipline you have been given. Time, as you understand it, is short, and you have yet a ways to go. There is still time to grow into what I have planned for you, and learn what I have assigned to you, but there is no more time for playing or following your own desires.
I have given you leeway in what you have asked for so that you could learn that it does not bring what you sought, but you continue to chase after it, even though you have learned what bitter fruit it bears. There is now only enough time to cover the distance which remains for you to travel, only time enough to learn the truth you will need to stand as My witness in the face of the enemy’s opposition, time enough only to practice walking in the gifts I have assigned you before you will be in the midst of the fray.
Stay alert, My child, as you go about your daily work and fulfill the responsibilities and obligations in your regular routine, remaining focused on My voice. Listen for My Spirit, even when you do not hear Me speaking to you – do not let silence cause your attention to wander. I will speak to those who listen, attentively waiting, eager to hear Me; I will be found by those who continually seek for Me, never letting their attention, their focus of desire, stray.
You are always in My heart, My precious one, and I have much prepared for you, treasured times awaiting you, but you must draw near to Me, step by step, and learn of Me, event by event. It takes time to grow into what I have for you, My tender one, and there is only time enough remaining for that to be completed if you turn your desire fully and wholly toward Me.

Psalm 148

May you give worshipful praise to the name of the Lord with the highest heavens of the sky and the waters and clouds above the skies which demonstrate His reach as He stretches out the canopy and show forth His grace as He waters the earth, bringing waters from afar and refreshing the just and unjust alike, and bear His likeness to the world in the view of all as the clouds which received Him, and will again bear Him in His return. Psalm 148

May you praise the name of the Lord for He has created by His command and set in place by His decree all things which bear witness of Him, for His name alone is exalted, and His splendor will never pass away, yet He has chosen you for Himself and strengthened you with His power, for you are close to His heart. Psalm 148

Just as the heart of a fool, simply by talking, provokes arguments and strife, leading him into punishment and pain, may your heart be so filled with the Word and the Spirit of God that not only your deeds, but your very words, will carry the healing, peaceful, life-giving grace and compassion of the Father, showing honor to Him Who sits on the throne and exalting Him Who created all things.

Tarry before Me, My child, and wait in My presence with praise for Who I am and thanksgiving for what I have done. Dwell in Me, My hungry one, as your walls and barriers crumble, dismantled by the Holy Spirit, Who removes all separations and division in your heart and in your mind, in your thinking and in your actions, which isolate you from Me and from My children.
This is the work I am doing in your life, My lonely one, for as this progresses, you will receive power from My Spirit and gain authority from My Word to hold children in love, to heal the sick in compassion, to wash the feet of others in service.
The ways of the world must be unlearned, turned from, disavowed, for power and authority in that context is the means to control and subjugate others, bending their wills to serve at your pleasure.
The way of My kingdom is loving service for others, giving of your strength and substance to meet the needs in the lives of those I am drawing, ministering to those I have selected as heirs of salvation regardless of whether they have realized it or not.
The commandments of My kingdom are not burdensome once you lay down your pride and release your ego, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light. The one who follows My way of love is the one to whom I will disclose Myself, and having seen Me, you will have seen the Father. Those who have known the Father find wisdom and gain understanding, receiving great peace, and are kept from stumbling.
What great joy there is to be free of condemnation from the power of sin and death, and to walk in the freedom of the authority of the Spirit of life and light!

Psalm 147

May you put your hope in His unfailing love as you express the fear of the Lord in reverential awe and respectful obedience, for the Lord delights in you more than in the strength of the horse or the ability of man. Psalm 147

Proverbs 18:4, John 7:38, Romans 8:11

May you walk in the righteousness of God, upholding His judgments, and seeking justice for the weak, the orphans, and the widows, resisting the proud, rejecting the bribes of the wealthy, giving grace and expressing compassion to the repentant, and encouraging those who are seeking to walk in the ways and commands of the Lord.

My child, I have called you “righteous,” so why do you question My judgment and doubt My truth? Is it not because you look upon My work with eyes that are blind to the work of the Spirit and try to understand with the carnal mind, which is enmity to Me?
The world claims that to be called righteous would mean that person is one who never sins. The enemy tries to impress that lie upon your thoughts because all have sinned, and no one would then have the right to call upon Me for help and strength to resist him.
However, I declare righteous that person who desires to know Me and, turning from their old way of living and thinking and acting, accepts the rescue and deliverance that I have made available through the blood I shed on the cross of Calvary, for the empty tomb declares the victory which defeated the devil.
Since My blood cleanses the guilt, removes the shame, and expunges the record, I give to whosoever will the right to become a son of God, upright and favored, no longer a destitute and abused child of Satan.
You are growing in My Spirit and My Word, maturing in grace and developing in mercy, progressing in compassion and arising in love. That means that while you do not yet walk perfectly in My ways, you are moving in the right direction by drawing closer to Me.
I speak of those things which are not as though they already were for I see that they will be. So walk in the authority of My Word and the power of My Spirit, My righteous one, knowing I place boundaries and safeguards around you, putting tutors over you as you progress.
Understand that the whole of creation is eagerly anticipating the day of your graduation when you are fully transformed into My likeness. This does not happen by your effort of will but by the power of My Spirit responding to the choice of your will and because I have said in My Word that it would come to pass.
All the hard studies and repeated lessons, the failed tests and despairing of ever learning and changing will be forgotten in the joy of that day when you come face-to-face with Me and know Me, even as you are known by Me.

Only those who have willingly humbled themselves to confess their need of My salvation, and turned in repentance and rejection from the practices and pursuits they used to follow, will know the joys I have prepared for those who love Me.
I have pledged Myself in a binding covenant relationship to each who turn to Me in sorrow for their enmity and embrace My will for their lives, trusting My promise to never depart, but to dwell with them in My eternal compassion and loving-kindness.
